Not sure what you are talking about. It is not really up to you to decide how much a flight 'deserves' to be..

There are plenty of fares between ATH and CDG, in business, that are reasonably priced. Likely you are talking about an availability issue, i.e. only C-class is still available. That happens when the flight is almost full or close to departure. Very common with every airline. If you want lower prices - book to fly off-peak and plenty of time ahead. When you find A-class you fare is going to be around ~200 euro all-in.
